Filmmaker Vlada Knowlton talks to Queerguru about The Most Dangerous Year her compelling documentary which covered 2016 when the transgender community in Washington State (and the rest of the US) were under threat.
Knowlton’s film is more emotional than others as one of the trans children she features is her own 5 year old daughter. Hence the part of parents coming to terms with the realisation that they have a trans child is much more personal as she shares her experience of dealing with her initial ignorance and learning how to be supportive.
The film is currently playing in select US theaters and will be available on DVD/VOD later this month
